A BRIEF LOOK AT WHAT THE U.S. CENSUS SAYS ABOUT CO-PARENTING & CHILD SUPPORT

Introduction

The U.S. Census released Custodial Mothers & Fathers & Their Child Support:  2007 (Grail, 2009)[1]on November 5, 2009.  Using 2008 data, the report examines what child support income custodial parents receive from noncustodial parents.   This is a summary of the report’s findings on parents and their child support agreements.

The Universe

The report defines “Custodial parent” as a parent who raised their biological child in their home but the other biological parent lived elsewhere.  So the number included those who lived alone, were remarried, or co-habituating with an adult other than the biological parent.

Minor children are defined as children under that age of 21 who live with at least one biological parent.  So children in foster care or being raised by other relatives were not included.

The Numbers

Here are some numbers to remember. In 2007, there were:

• 81.6M children in the U.S. under the age of 21.
• 21.8M, or 26%, of these children were raised in a home with only one biological parent.
• 13.7M  parents raised these 21.8M children.
• 83% of these parents were mothers.
• 39% were mothers over 40, 35% in their 30’s and 26% were in their 20’s.
• 17% of these parents where fathers but the report gave no age data.

The Agreements

Out of the 13.7M parents only 7.4M, 54%, of them had a formal, legally enforceable agreement or court award for financial support from the other parent, i.e. child support order.   Less than .5% had informal agreements.  The remainder, about 45%, had no agreement at all.  Asked why, these custodial parents stated they didn’t have a formal agreement because they (parents could give more than one answer):

• 35% felt no need to go to court to make it legal
• 35% thought the other parent was already giving all they could
• 32% felt the other parent couldn’t pay anything even if they did get a court order
• 28% Could not find the parent or had not legally establish paternity
• 26% didn’t want the other parent to pay
• 19% did not want contact with the other parent
• 18% stated the child stayed with the other parent part of the time

It is highly probable that this 45% who don’t have a child support agreement were also never married and lived above the poverty line.  Divorced parents would have been required by the court to establish formal child support at the time of the divorce.  Likewise, a custodial parent who received government assistance (Medicaid, TANF, food stamps) to offset child expenses would have been required by that agency to seek a formal child support award through the courts.

The Money

Of the 7.8M parents that had pursued legally enforceable child support awards, the research looked at the 6.4M, 86%, which were actually due child support.

Less than half of that 6.4M, 46%, received the full amount owed.  30% received some but not all. Almost 24% received nothing.

The average amount of child support due to the 6.4M during was $445 per month or $5,350 per year.

The average amount of child support actually received was $3,350 per year or $280 per month.

58% of all parents due child support also receive at least one type of noncash support like gifts for birthdays and special occasions, clothes, food, medical expenses (not insurance) payments for child care or summer camp.

Co-Parenting & Child Support

Not surprisingly, parents who had a greater connection to the rearing of their child had a better rate of child support payments.   82% of the of the 6.4M parents due child support payments also had arrangements for joint custody or co-parenting time.

The vast majority, 78% received some if not all of the child support due opposed to the  67% who did not have joint custody or co-parenting agreement.

What Does It All Mean

Good Co-Parenting relationships between parent and child trump court enforced child support orders.  Over 1/4th of American children live with only one biological parent.  A little less than half of these parents choose not to pursue court ordered child support mainly because they didn’t see the need to make it legal.  This strongly indicates that they were able to work together with their co-parent, without court intervention, to financially support their children – this is an overlooked demographic.  Conversely, 55% of custodial parents with court ordered support receive less than what is ordered or nothing at all.  Proving that relying solely on the court process to receive child support is not always the best investment.  Necessary in some situations? Of course.  However, with 78% of parents with joint custody or co-parenting arrangements receiving some if not all child support awarded, the better method is to support a better relationship between parents and their children.

Encyclopedia of United States Stamps and Stamp Collecting $28.98 The Encyclopedia of United States Stamps and Stamp Collecting, introduces the collector to the full scope of United States stamps and stamp collecting. Beginning with an introduction to; stampless covers; (letters mailed before the introduction of postage stamps), it then introduces the many stamps issued from their inception with the 1845 Postmasters' Provisionals through the stamps of the early 21st century. Other chapters deal with the host of stamps known to collectors as; back-of-the-book; issues, including stamps issued for air mail, special delivery, U.S. possessions, revenue purposes, and postal stationery. The history of the Postal Service and the various stamp printers, including the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is explored. A section of the Encyclopedia highlights the technological innovations of stamp production, the history of the movement of the mails, markings applied to envelopes, and meters and machine generated postage. While a book about U.S. stamps and stamp collecting, in a larger sense it is a history of American politics, culture, values and technology seen through the prism of the nation's postage stamps and postal service. Each of the sixty-two chapters employs a similar format, wherein an introductory article is followed by practical tips on collecting; an almanac of chronological dates to orient the reader within each historical era; a selection of quotes, both contemporaneous and modern, to provide context; examples of postal usage; and a compilation of references to which the reader can turn for more information. While the Encyclopedia will be welcomed by many advanced stamp collectors, it was written with the beginning collector in mind. It assumes no prior experience with collecting, and includes a comprehensive glossary of philatelic terms. The full color, hard-bound, 730 page book is generously illustrated with stamps, covers and related material.
